LAYING-OUT MACHINE.

ESPECIE'IGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 355,937, dated January 11, 1887.

Applcation filedMarch 11, 1886. Serial No. 194,837. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD AUGUSTUS JEROME, of East Portland, in the county of Multnomah and State of Oregon, have invented a new and Improved Laying-Out Machine, of which the following is a full, clear,

and exact description.

My invention relates to the construct-ion of a machine designed to lay out material to use in making sash, doors, blinds, &c.; and the invention consists of the construction and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

' the apparatus.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification,

in which similar letters of reference indicate 7 tion.

In constructing such a machine as is illustrated in the drawings above referred to, I provide two supporting frames, A A, upon which there is arranged a heavy longitudinal bar, B, the'parts being braced by brackets O. A second longitudinal bar, D, is mounted-on sliding carriages D, which ride upon slideways E E, as shown best in Figs. 1 and 3. The frames A A are connected at the rear by a longitudinal' brace-rod, a.

Upon the upper side of the strips or bars B D there are secured angle-irons 1), upon which there are mounted sliding pointers or markers I 1, arranged to be adjusted longitudinally upon the said angle-irons, and locked in place by set-screws c c. The angle-iron carried by the strip or bar B is graduated so that the markers 1 1 may be adjusted as desired, without the necessity of laying off the spaces between said markers by means of a ruler, and after the markers 1 have been adjusted as desired, the markers I may be moved to register with them A number of supporting arms, F F, project. to the rear from the under side of the bar B, and serve as supports for the material to be marked. Alongitudinal shaft, G, is mounted in bearings g g, formed in the end frames, A A, the end of the shaft projecting out beyond the frame A, as shown at G.

Upon the shaft G there are mounted two double-armed levers, H H, the lower arm, h, of each lever projecting downward and forward and serving as supports for a treadle-beam, J, while the upperarms, h, are connected to arms K, that are pivotally secured in brackets K that are fixed to the under side of the bar D. The arms K are formed with a number of apertures, i 1', so that their point of connection with the lever-arms h h may be varied.

From this construction it will be seen that,

after the pointers I I have been properly adjusted and the material to be marked has been placed upon the supportingarms F, by simply depressing the treadle J the levers H Hwill act to throw the bar D, and consequently the markers I, against the material, and at this timeaface marker,such as is shown at M, will be thrown up against the face of the material. can, m, mounted on the end of aspring, m. rigidly connected to the shaft G, sponges m m being arranged in openings formed in the top of the can and the can being filled with any marking-paint. It will. be seen. that when the shaft G is thrown over the spring at will be vibrated, and the sponges carried by the can thrown against the under face of the ma-.

terial.

The purpose of the face-marker may be stated as follows: It is necessary for all sash,

This face-marker consists of a door, and blind material being laid out to have a.

the opposite edge of a stile, thus showing the edge to be molded and the corresponding sides when being driven together. By thus marking the stiles one handling of the material is dis pensed with, as ordinarily the material has to be marked before being laid out. By using a too fluid-marker no indentation is made, and hence the time and expense of planing to remove indentations is avoided.

In order that the material to be marked may be uniformly set upon the machine, I provide an adjustable stop, f, said stop being carried by a plate, f, formed with slots 76 k, the slot is being arranged to engage with a lug projecting from the under side of the bar B, while through the slot is there is passed a bolt, l, that is engaged by a winged nut, Z, the idea of this construction being to provide a stop which may be adjusted to vary its distance from the first graduation of the angle iron b.

In the class of machines described it is often desirable that the ends of the material should be marked off in ogee or bevel lines, and to accomplish this I arrange two vertical slides, n it, between which there is mounted asliding arm, N, having rearwardly-projeeting arms 0 0. This frame-work is connected by a rod, p, with the forwardly-extending arm P, that is loosely mounted on the extending portion G of the shaft G, the standards N being adjustably mounted on the bar B. An ogee or bevel marker 0, carrying collar 0, is mounted in apertures formed in the arms 0 0, being normally held in the position shown in Fig. 4 by a spiral spring, 8, that is coiled about the shank of the marker and abuts against the under face of the arm 0 and the upper face of the collar 0". The lever-arm P is arranged to be secured to its supporting-shaft by a set screw, q, and when so fixed will act to draw down the rod 1?, and consequently the arm N, car"- rying the marker 0, when the treadle J is de pressed to advance the bar D, carrying the markers I, the parts being returned to their normal position by the action of weights T,ar-

ranged to counterbalance the treadle and throw the bar D back against buffers S, that are ad-" justably mounted at the rear of the frame.

Having thus fully'describcd my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isv 1. The combination, in a laying-out machine, of the frame having the fixed bar B, provided With markers 1, the horizontallysliding bar D, having markers I, brackets K on its under face, and arms K, pivoted in said brackets and having a series of apertures, z, with the shaft G, the two-armed levers H H, the upward-extending arms h of which are connected to the apertured arms K, the lower arms, h, being extended downward and forward and connected by the treadle-bar J, substantially as set forth. v

2. The combination, with the frame, thestationary' bar B, having markers 1', the horizontally-sliding bar D, having markers I, and the horizontally-adjustable buffers S S, mounted in hearings on the frame behind the sliding .bar, of the shaft G below the markers, the

double-armed levers H. H for operating the; bar D in its forward movement, and means for moving the said bar rearward toward the buffers, substantially as setforthQ 3. In a laying-out machine, the combination, with the main frame, the sliding and fixed marker-bars thereon, and means for operating the sliding bar, of an ogee marker sliding at right angles to the sliding bar, bearings on the frame for said ogee marker, and a connecting device between the ogee marker and the operating mechanism of the sliding marker-bar, substantially as set forth.

4. The combination, with the frame and the fixed and movable marker-bars B D, of the vertical guides n a, the slide N, working therein and having arms 0 0, the vertically-movable ogee or bevel marker 0, mounted in the arms 0 o, and extending down between the bars B D, and means for simultaneously operating the said markers, substantially as set forth.

5. The combination, with the fixed and movable marker-bars B Dand the operating mechanism, of the vertical guides n n, the slide N between said guides, having horizontal arms 0 0, the verticalyielding ogee or bevel marker 0, having a collar, 0, and mounted in the arms 0 0, and the spring 8 on the marker 0 between the under face of the arm 0 and the collar '0, and the rod 1), connecting the slide N with the operating mechanism of the markerbar D, substantially as set forth.

6. The combination, with the fixed and movable barsB D, the edge-indenting markers 1 I on the adjacent faces thereof, and the operating mechanism, of a non-indenting facemarker below and operating between the bars B D, the said face-marker being connected with the operating "mechanism of the bar D, substantially as set forth.

7. The combination, with the frame, the fixed and movable bars B D, having edge-indenting markers 1 I, the rock-shaft G, and operating-levers H H below the bars, the spring M, secured to the rock-shaft, and a liquid face-marker on the free end of the spring adjacent to the under faces of the bars B D,

whereby when the levers and rock-shaft are operated to move the bar D the liquid-marker will-be thrown against the face of the material being laid off, substantially as set forth.

tending from the under side of the bar B, and

the adj usting-nut Z on the bolt, the stopfextending between the two bars B D, substantially as set forth.
